Vintage shots from days gone by!

Sexy Italian actress Claudia Cardinaly...

 

Hey swi66, I love the shot in post#77927 of the two kids playing on the engine and trans. Taking advantage of what was available. Imagine where their "car" took them.

 

OK , when I count three, yank it.

 

From " Once upon a time in the West." She's still a very attractive 75 year old. Now I'll think of that song the reat of the day.

 

Hate it when that happens...

 

Not necessarily from down under....lots of American makes started out as right hand drive cars.

 

Typical Saturday morning in socal back in the day...

 

ALTERNATE CAPTION - "The late,
but unlamented Officer Podunk was
nothing if not an utterly determined
and single-mided man! 'Scofflaws!' he
scowled!' 'Now that his long-awaited,
new ACME® rocket car had finally
arrived, there was no way in hell', he
thought, 'that those young hooligan
street racers were going to ever out
run him again with their hotted-up '
T Model Fords'!!!"

Mart3406 ("who, like both the
afformentioned Officer Podunk
and also, later, Wile E. Coyote, too,
is an avid and enthusiastic ACME®
customer!")
====================

 

According to the book "Flying Forts" it was stated, "...the tail gunner scrambled with monkey-like quickness......"!

Great pic! That's a rare Hurst-built
1969 Rambler SC/Rambler. One of
only 1,512 built - a limited production
offshoot of AMC's late 60's-early 70's
race program - basically, a lightweight
Rambler American body, with a
scooped, ram-air induction fibreglass
hood and a deliberately underrated
315 hp 4bbl-AMC 390 V8. The cars were
built to fall into the NHRA's SS/C class
hence the SC/Rambler name.

1969 Hurst Rambler SC/Srambler

While the major body and interior
was the same as other '69 Rambler
two door hardtops the very notable
modifications listed made this car
radically different than all other
model in the series:

• Front and rear wheel wells lips
rolled to accommodate larger tire
sizes and drag slicks

• "letter box" snorkel hood scoop
with functional "Ram Air"

• Cold ram air induction w/vacuum
operated metal flapper and inner/outer
air cleaner tub assembly

• Rear "torque links" similar to those
used on the AMX and performance
equipped Javelins

• 16 :1 quick ratio manual steering as
compared to 20:1 steering on other
American non power steering cars

• Power assisted brakes with front
disc rather than front drums

• Blue painted Magnum 500 styled
steel wheels with deep dish center
caps and brushed trim rings

• AMX 390 V-8 with 315HP and 425
ft/lbs. Torque

• Heavy duty 4 speed manua floor
shift transmission (T-10) with Hurst
competition shifter

• 3.54 "Twin-Grip" limited slip
differential Dana 44 rear end

• SC Rambler/Hurst emblems on
sides and rear sail panel

• Black tail-lamp lenses and sail
panel

• Chrome hood pins with retainer
cables

• Thrush glass pack style mufflers
and baloney slice tipped 2" dual
exhaust system

• Red, white, & blue headrests
square back split bench front seats

• Triple spoke wood grain edged
sports steering wheel

• Hosed clamp, steering column
mounted Sun S635 tach

• Left and right rear view mirrors
like those used on the '68/'69 Hurst
Olds
=====================

 

This one looks like it's a NSW Australia registered little gem. I'm not a real fan of British cars normally, but this one being a 'vert and a little cute ain't so bad.
Note the 'cavernous' caravan behind - I might be able to lie down in it, but I doubt it. Ah well, perhaps not everyone is as 'average sized' as me.

 

About 10 years ago at a local junk yard they had a S/C complete & running for 900 Bux & I didn't buy it ...

 

Looks like a 1950 Singer to me......

Sorry some of these came out so big.

Mart.

 

I agree, completely...

 

Vintage car? check
Vintage photo? check
Vintage girl? check
Had someone share these photos with me of a gas powered promotional car 1965 Plymouth Fury. One has a playboy bunny in the drivers seat (who can name her?) and pace car graphics. The other has another lady at the wheel and states it is from the Indy 500? Not sure who she might be? Both these cars (maybe the same car?) were made by Creative industries of Detroit, they same guys that made the charger Daytonas in 69 and superbirds in 70. Most of them went to the 1964 worlds fair in NY were Avis rental car used them on a closed track.

There is more information about these on this page of my website. http://jrcentral.com/1965plymouthfury.html

 

yes up until about 1908 when Ford introduced the Model T and made it LH
and after that all the other manufacturers followed.I remember seeing in the video clip of San Francisco where they drive through the streets pre earthquake with many cars both left and right steering.
However I thought that the car in the picture may have been after 1908.

 

Oh my......

 

Just tuck your legs and sleep away

Easy with that Popular please!

 

Looks like a very safe track a drop off and no guard rails. We were very dumb in the old days????????????

 

Probably one of the BEST posts on the HAMB EVER! Thanks for the memories.

Reo Dealer, Van Ness, San Francisco, 1923 (Van Ness was still car dealer's row when I was stationed in SF in the mid-60s, may still be)
